Whether or not HBO is wrong...these two should still be fighting. That's what matters....not which network fanboy gets to gloat.

Exactly-Herschman even got Kathy Duva to do interviews where she sold this line of bull****.

HBO did wht was best for them and Stevenson did same.

Business first, that is why we tune in. To watch fighters and their accountants count beans.

I doubt Kovalev has an exclusive contract with HBO so I can still see this fight happening. But, based on this article, there seems to be a lot of personal spats and tiffs going on between the networks.

I only care about business deals. It's why I watch the sport. To make sure my fighter is making money.

My man, grow up and stop trying to make points that appeal to only the base. Obviously we want the best fights.

The point IMDAZED was making, and I agree with, is posters simply blamed Haymon and stevenson without knowing any facts. we can guess why this happened.

you, I and every poster should be pissed this fight isn't happening. but focus your anger where it belongs. As we read this thread-created because the breakdown of this fight was the biggest story in the sport for a week-we realize it wasn't Haymon.

If you want to get pissed at stevenson because he doesn't want to fight Kovalev-ok, I agree.

As for this subject-HBO is full of **** and Duva was clearly a puppet. Hopefully posters who went HAM will at least post some humility.

What kind of rookie shyt are they pulling at HBO? Counting the competitions money is kind of simpleminded. This promoter/network squabbling is what looks to be killing the sport. Not, the multiple sanctioning bodies.

Don't think HBO cares much for boxing anymore. At least Herschman is a boxing guy but I wonder what's influencing these decisions.
